Thank you for your exceptional service to the people of Manchester, NH. Your humor will be missed. God bless all your family and friends. In Christ, Frances Wawrzynek

I was saddened to learn of Father Bernie's recent death. I have some wonderful memories of Father Bernie. When I was director of the Deaf Ministry in the Norwich Diocese we would see each other often. We also ran summer sessions together for our deaf youth at Crocheted Mt. One winter a snow storm stranded me at LaGuardia as I was flying south for a NCOD week. Who do I meet among the crowd of strandees, but Bernie!! He invited me to wait out the storm with him at his mother's home at Breezy...

Father Capbell was a great friend to our family. He married my wife Marybeth and I and our daughter and her husband as well. We always enjoyed his great conversations and the many laughs we had together. We will miss him but always remember him!

Father Bernie was a great friend spent many times at Crouched Mountain with all the disability friends at the outings helping him.It was an honor to serve on the advisory board for the diocese of N.H.for the disability.

Fr. Campbell was a great person and an excellent priest and my best friend. I will surely miss all the good conversations that I had with him. He was very spiritual and very intellectual. Thank you for helping me when I needed more attention. I am sure you must be enjoying heaven a lot and continue to play music for all your friends who are with you. This was truly a shock for me Fr. Bernie so please help me when I need your help as I will still ask you for advice. Sr. Pauline

We new him short and sweet. A wonderful person to be with a time well spent together. Your in Our Prayers.
With Love Norman and Janice Marineau.

Bernie could sight-read almost ANY bass music put in front of him! He played in the Epsom Town 1band for the last several years and we got to know him in that context. I enjoyed playing alongside him and visiting with him after rehearsals and concerts. He WILL be missed!

Fr, Bernie was not only a great priest, but also a great man all around. I first met him when he was at St. Catherine's on Webster St. I also knew him through the Ancient Order of Hibernians. He knew how to do a sermon, that people would listen and pay attention to. He will surely be missed by all that knew him.

Fr Bernie will be so missed at St Catherine's of Siena. We greatly enjoyed his homilies as he was so down to earth and had a way of connecting with people. He had a true gift. May he rest in peace.
